To See, To Speak

We are finally here, Day One of the George Zimmerman trial. The defense team, Mark O’Mara and Don West along with Asst. State Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda have the enormous task of finding 6 unbiased, unaware swamp dwelling people who live in Seminole county Florida who have not heard of this case or more realistically have not formed an opinion of this case. The State and the defense team will then decide, if they have formed an opinion, do they still have the ability to be fair?

On February 26, 2012, the defendant George Zimmerman called non-emergency 911 to report a suspicious person. Listen to non-emergercy call below.

Initally Sanford Police Department did not arrest George Zimmerman. The case was later handed over to Florida State Attorney Angela Corey who subsequentally indicted Zimmerman charging him with 2nd degree murder.

In America, most of our trials begin with jury selection or vior dire.

voir dire

(vwahr [with a near-silent “r”] deer) n. from French “to see to speak,” the questioning of prospective jurors by a judge and attorneys in court. Voir dire is used to determine if any juror is biased and/or cannot deal with the issues fairly, or if there is cause not to allow a juror to serve (knowledge of the facts; acquaintanceship with parties, witnesses or attorneys; occupation which might lead to bias; prejudice against the death penalty; or previous experiences such as having been sued in a similar case). Actually one of the unspoken purposes of the voir dire is for the attorneys to get a feel for the personalities and likely views of the people on the jury panel. In some courts the judge asks most of the questions, while in others the lawyers are given substantial latitude and time to ask questions. Some jurors may be dismissed for cause by the judge, and the attorneys may excuse others in “peremptory” challenges without stating any reason. 2) questions asked to determine the competence of an alleged expert witness. 3) any hearing outside the presence of the jury held during trial.

After filling out a questionnaire, the 500 selected potential jurors have been broken up into 3 groups. Today the State and defense will question the first group, tomorrow the second group and Wednesday the third group. The questionnaire has not been made public.

Before today there was still a question regarding audio experts. I’m relieved to learn that on Saturday Judge Debra Nelson, that the expert opinions regarding the “death sheik” will be admissible. I’m not surprised to add, defense attorney Mark O’Mara once again asked for a continuance which was denied and O’Mara says he has a witness he’d like to had to the list.

Let justice prevail!

Wow, what a boring day..and these potential jurors so far sound like idiots. There were a few of them who seemed to be biting at the bit to get on this jury. Hmm…I don’t think we want people like that. I dunno..
From what I saw today…picking an impartial jury is going to be tough.

Yeah,
Right about that JB.
Thanks for playing the video again.
Why did he say these assholes always get away while talking to
the dispatcher?

I hope that they play the 911 calls. This is so ridiculous.
Dispatcher said OK GEORGE???
I guess they are familiar with that name.

I’ll be glad when it get’s on the way.
You know they have a lot of 911 calls and people are sure to have.
2 guys standing with flashlights and the one on the ground is dead.
JB, whi is Jon Smith. I probably have heard before, but can’t remember.
Hope that you are feeling better.

OMG….I was BORED to death.I must have wiped my brain clean about how BORING jury selection was !! I think even in Casey’s case we had that woman run in & scream out some kinda crap!! Everything was so BORING then too & it scared the crap out of all of them.Of course Perry had to put the hammer down.Today we got to listen to Joonyah …in Spanish.
I wasn’t real crazy about any of the jurors today.I hope tomorrow will bring in some better people.I wish one of the questions could be…..Have you donated to ZimASS? They all seemed ready to be on & do their duty.I read at Freds that the woman who had all those kids & took care of patients with dementia at a nursing home…..this would be a GREAT VACATION to her!! Lets get some people who sound caring,loving & compassionate.And PLEASE LORD….lets SPEED this up so we can get to the EVIDENCE!!!
Now I’m going to go back UP & read all of your links you put up for us….Thank You for the new posting & hope you are feeling OK. Yes I am backasswards.I wanted to comment so I could get my Thank You up before it got too late.

Anyone else have the feeling that some of the POlice didn’t really care that George shot and killed Trayvon? Shake me, shouldn’t think like this, but……..I would think that at least one policeman would have gotten pretty irate about it. “For shit! George, what the hell is going on here, what the hell did you do?” You are not on duty, not supposed to be carrying your gun” What the HELL!!! Didn’t happen.

I’m glad I posted the old video too. I think it’s good to listen to it again because IMO, it’s the crux of the case. It shows the mindset of Zimmerman “assholes always get away”

An old friend of mine happen to visit me today while I was watching the trial. He’s totally oblivious to the GZ/TM case so I thought it would be interesting to get his perspective so I played the 911 call. After he listened to it, I asked him what he thought. The first thing he said was, “he’s chasing that kid”.

I hope this is the first reaction from every person on the jury. I hope BDLR plays that call over and over again.

Loly, I think the John Smith you’re asking about is the neighbor who at first said TM was on top of GZ beating him MMA style but later changed his statement. It’s weird that he said that because George is the person taking Mixed Martial Arts classes, not Trayvon. If GZ knew MMA why did he have to resort to pulling out his weapon? Surely a 200lb, 28yo man practicing Mixed Martial Arts could easily get control of a 17yo kid who weighs 158lbs. It’s ridiculous to think anything else.

Hi Marilyn,
You’re so funny! I remember that crazy lady…I wonder if she’ll show up for this trial too.
I agree. The PJ’s they had today weren’t too swift. You know they call them “group B” so maybe they’re just trying to get them out of the way for group A? Now, I wonder what Group C will be like??? LOL

( I’m feeling much better. I have a doctor appt. Wednesday and another next week. It seems like once you get into the medical cycle, they keep you around for awhile. 😦 )

I just had to put up a new post for Day One of the trial. I just hope Judge Nelson did the right thing by not giving O’Mara a continuance. It seems to me that the defense is planning on appeals in the future and he’s just stacking up denials. I guess we’ll see.
BTW, I watched the trial live today at ClickOrlando, if anyone’s interested.

Kathy,
I feel the same way.
Sadly from what I’ve read in the docs, the police weren’t very concerned. The only person who gave a damn was Inv. Chris Serino. I think he wanted to arrest GZ on the night it happened but other investigators didn’t back him up.
It’s a shame but I think because they couldn’t ID Trayvon that night, the cops assumed he was a throw-away kid from the other neighborhood. (not that it should matter)
When Serino found out that Trayvon’s parents were good hard working people, he knew that SPD messed up and Trayvon’s parents weren’t going to let the death of their child go away.
To think that GZ wasn’t arrested the night of the shooting is outrageous. IMO, if Sanford Police Dept. had arrested Zimmerman, we wouldn’t be here blogging. I blame them for the racial discord in this case too. They’re a disgrace to all cops.

JB,
“To think that GZ wasn’t arrested the night of the shooting is outrageous. IMO, if Sanford Police Dept. had arrested Zimmerman, we wouldn’t be here blogging. I blame them for the racial discord in this case too. They’re a disgrace to all cops.”

That just says it all.

I can’t imagine a child of mine or anyone for that matter getting killed and the murderer being sent home with his word that it was self defense AND he was the only one with the weapon.
We know they wren’t planning on arresting him.

I don’t trust them at all and that silly looking nose picture???
If it was that bad and broken, it would have looked like it in the interrogation room and also the next morning when he did hi re-enactment.

Like he said himself, He fell down, probably ran into a post too. REALLY!!!
Idiot, why did he get out of his schruck in the rain running and when he says. AW shit now he’s running.
I would ask George what did he really want Trayvon to do, walk or run home.
BECAUSE this kid looked suspicious?????
walking OR running??? Damn!!

I wonder if GEORGE ever wears his hoodie. In the rain or shine.
He told his wife to bring his hoodie.
SO when he wears his hoodie, WE know he REALLY wanted it to hide, even his wife.
Damn Hypocrites!

“I wasn’t real crazy about any of the jurors today.I hope tomorrow will bring in some better people.I wish one of the questions could be…..Have you donated to ZimASS?

I agree, being on a jury to her is a vacation??? They have 500 of these to go through and today, they finished 4?
I don’t mean to be ugly, but IF you can’t hear well, you shouldn’t be on the jury.

Well today’s Monday, the way it’s going by Friday they would have probably (voiir dired, Thanks JB, ; ) at least 20 out of 500! WOW The trial should start next year.

“Anyone else have the feeling that some of the POlice didn’t really care that George shot and killed Trayvon?

“( I’m feeling much better. I have a doctor appt. Wednesday and another next week. It seems like once you get into the medical cycle, they keep you around for awhile. ) ”

So true!
That get’s tiring too.
I’m glad that you’re feeling better. I know that you take a lot of time and effort to keep us up and we appreciate it so much.

Today I heard a lady call in earlier and she said IF Trayvon had of ran home, this wouldn’t have happened!!! Sound familiar?

IF ass had of gone on to Target minded his business, Trayvon shouldn’t have had to run home.

Besides I’m sure Trayvon didn’t want this stalker to know where he lived, ANYMORE than chinken
#### wanted to give his address to the dispatcher.
I’ve been followed before AND passed my house because of that reason.

I wonder WHAT the real reason was that GEORGE didn’t want to give the dispatcher
his address.

Hmm…I’m getting really bad vibes about this jury selection stuff. Is Seminole County being deceitful in their quest for justice for Trayvon Martin? I’m beginning to wonder.
Why didn’t the State ask for a change of venue? It’s not realistic to even try to get an impartial jury from the same county the crime was committed.
At least Orange County tried to be fair with Casey Anthony. They selected jurors from another county. Why not do the same in the Trayvon Martin trial?
Hmmm…something is not right about this. I’m just not feeling it.

Hello ladies!!! Jury selection is turning out to be a long, boring process. I’ve tried piping in here and there on blogs in-between questioning.

JB, you are so correct. GZ’s mindset is demonstrated in his NEN call. It sets the stage for his decisions and actions. I remember when I first heard it, I said “He’s running after that kid.” Then, when he asked that the cop call for his location, I said “He’s going to look for him.”

This is crazy. With Casey and Jodi, it was almost 90 % that hated them.

With Z killing a 17 year old child, you would think people would be outraged at him.
But instead ask WHY wasn’t Trayvon at home?????
He didn’t have any right to take Trayvon’s right away from him, Free to be a child,
walk in the rain to the store. I did it many times. Thank God at that time we dididn’t have
gunho zimmerman’s then.

He murdered a child because that’s what he wanted to do.
Called 911 because HE looked suspicious. What is suspicious?
The hoodie?
I’m tired of that “suspicious” so much he had to get his fat ass out of his schruck
run and YES persue, chase, follow him what he bit that he what he did.

Parents shouldn’t have to worry about their kids going to the store.
Stupid idiot Z. Does he not remember being 17?

GZ has not looked at Shellie in court. Maybe they really are two of a kind. LOL!

Xena, I think this is your best one so far!! I love the way you find the small stuff!! Great sleuthing.

They are such LIARS!! It is truly amazing how this husband and wife have absolutely no respect for themselves or a Court of Law. It takes a special breed to be sworn in by a Judge and lie. No wonder Zimmerbitch thought it was okay to stalk and harass strangers.
JB~

Hi Guys….I didn’t get to watch the whole thing today…Daughter came into town.I knew I could depend on Trent or someone to record it so I can watch it tonight.
Xena…do you remember that video that shows ZimASS calling NEN on I think Feb.the 2nd & saying the IDENTICAL thing? Somebody poisted it somewhere I think maybe last week.It was when he was calling in about Taffee’s house.Someone posted it side by side with the Feb. 26th call & I can’t remember the name of it & wanted to show it to JB.I’l check back in later.

Hello everyone,
Nice to see you Xena. I guess we’re all watching this long dragged out jury picking session. I really don’t think it’s possible to find 6 people who can be swayed to either side. It seems that most who have formed an opinion in the case aren’t likely to change thanks to the media saturation of this case. I’d like to see a change of venue but I know it’s not going to happen with Judge Nelson.

The Talking Heads were just talking about GZ’s weight gain. Of course Robert Jr. said it is due to stress. Yeah, right. It’s the Adderall fool. I’m surprised none of the Talking Heads have picked up on that?? Or is it relevant?? I think it is but maybe the prosecution wouldn’t want to go down that path in fear of offending people who struggle with their weight?? IDK.. but after hearing so many PJ’s who seem to be begging to get on this jury, I’m getting nervous.
My daughter laughs at me because she says I act like an Old G. “old gansta” because I don’t trust cops or the system. LOL Nah..not an Old G, just an Old Hippie. 😀

Does anyone know the demographics of Seminole County or Sanford Florida??
I’m going to check it out.

The racial makeup of the county was 82.4% White, 9.5% Black or African American, 0.3% Native American, 2.5% Asian, <0.1% Pacific Islander, 3.1% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. 11.2% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Hi all, I see GZ often makes some marks like he may be making check offs on some of the people questioned for jury duty. Does he have any say whatsoever of who his attorneys select to call his fate, or is it strickly between the defense and state to come to an agreement. AND is there a possibility that within such a large group to select from that there might be someone who knows George, or even Trayvon for that matter and they might be selected because they do not state their position. I also wonder how they got the 500, like were they all asked that question “did you know the victim or do you know the accused”. Any thoughts???

I noticed that too Kathy. I’m sure GZ has some say about who O’Mara and West should pick because probably there’s a few PJ’s who are making eye contact with him. I noticed GZ smiling at a few of them too. Hmmm.. You never know with Seminole County, Sanford Florida. Remember they didn’t arrest the idiot.
lol
To answer one of your questions, I think they just sent out 500 subpoenas for jury duty.

Wow, are the theatrical masks really one of Zim’s tattoos?? Hmm…that’s a sign of Deception.
Another Freudian Slip for Georgie Boy. He just can’t stop telling on himself, can he? Same words, same wanna-be-cop actions.

Xena…….THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
JB & Kathy….Yall were talking about ZimASS smiling at some people,writing things down,etc.I don’t know about Yall,but I am SHOCKED that he has come alive & doing ANYTHING besides sitting in that chair fighting to keep his eye open !! I wonder if they changed his meds or something.Has anybody heard what that scream was about 3:00 central time??
JB….on one of the re enactment videos,Det Singleton was looking at his boo boos & they were FILMING his injuries when she pulled his short sleeve up to look & I think you can see part of this tattoo on it.I will have to go back & look.Don’t you just LOVE this video? So TELLING!
I am so glad somebody elses Kids make fun of them besides mine( over me in these cases)!

Did GEORGE just say on that video that he gave the dispatcher HIS address?
That’s a lie!
BTW, it would have been much easier for him to say just meet me at the clubhouse, instead going through ll of the streets and address lies.

Also, the make up of Seminole County?
That’s WHY the defense hasn’t asked for it to be in another county.

500 subpoenas???
Is that the population?? : )
You think 81.6 white 11.7 black that there’s a chance in hell GEORGE will be convicted
of any charges?

Yes, Kathy, they should start out DO you know GEORGE?
Remember the dispatcher said OK GEORGE let us know if you need anything else.
BUT GEORGE, didn’t need 911 for anything else, HELL the bastard just shot a child in the heart.
You might say HELLO Dispatcher YES, I just shot someone. YOU THINK??

Loly!! Are you fading away again??!!
Hey Guys I think the whole town knew ZimASS or his parents.How could they NOT since he stuck his nose in EVERYONES business! I still want them to ask these jurors DID YOU DONATE!! You know O’smeara knows since they are googling everyone who steps into that box!

Kathy,
On this video, doesn’t he say between !:00 and 1:20 that he thinks he gave him his address, then says he gave HIM the dispather his address, but old the dispather he didn’t want to give him his address because he was afraid Trayvon would hear him?

Yes, out of 500, a few of them probably did donate to ZimAss and I think the first two questions should be, Do you know GEORGE and the second you know he was taking donation SO did you donate.
YES, very important question.
In fact the most important question. Because whether people know him personally are probably NOT the ones to donate, BUT I’ll bet there are quiet a few in Seminole County that donated.

Hi Marilyn,
No, I don’t know what that scream was about at 3pm?? I think Marinade has an assigned seat for the trial, so maybe he’ll know.
Thanks for reminding me…I remember GZ’s tattoo now. Duh. Seriously my memory is fading as of late. ::sigh:: I’m getting up in age I guess.

Yes Marilyn, my daughter teases me about my interest in legal cases too but she knows it was my mother, The Real JB who got me into this stuff.
If my Mother were alive today, she’d definitely want to sit down to talk to GZ, explain to him why his actions were wrong and why he should just confess and take his punishment. LOL And he’d probably do it with a smile on his face. That’s what JB was capable of doing. LOL

It amazes me how different my daughter and I are?? She is very conservative so she always comments on my distrust of The Man but I really think these young people need to be aware of certain changes in World, especially on the internet. I’ve already taught my 12yo grandson how to makeup an online name to use when he plays games on the internet. I want him to know, everything he does online is a digital fingerprint of himself that could be used against him later in life. The World’s A-Changin…

Hey Loly, lol, no you’re not fading away.
I just looked on my side of the blog and looks like all of your comments are posted. I hope you don’t have anymore problems. My only advice is to always use the same screen name and email address.
I can’t believe Seminole County is so racially off balance. No wonder the Defense didn’t ask for a change of venue. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I think BDLR should have asked for one.
Just today, they caught a PJ (potential juror) lying on the stand. It was PJ E7. You could tell he was trying very hard to get onto the jury.
Then I just found this on Yahoo.

Oh My Dear XENA!! You are My HERO once again!! All I did was tell you it was somewhere on the re enactment tape & BINGO…you went & took it to a whole other level!! LUV LUV LUV this video!!
It seems this FOOL(ZimASS) has wanted attention for years the way he is always SPYING & CALLING on everybody on all of his non emergency calls(forget how many),complaining to every Tom,Dick & Harry about everyone & everything.Well…now he has PLENTY of attention & he wants to HIDE? Hey Buddy…the stage is yours…now what?
I want to say he has more faces than my Granddaughter,who REALLY is in Theater in NYC…..but him using those masks, is giving Theater a bad name!
Thank You Xena again!

What the hell??? What if GEORGE was pumped up on something?? They will never know.
The question is NOT why Trayvon acted the way he did , BUT what GEORGE DID.
He killed an unarmed child for no reason.Plus he wasn’t even tested to see if he was
acting STRANGE following and murdering Trayvon. He sure did sound weird to me.
Shame on them for not testing GEORGE!!!

Suspecious don’t cut it!! Liar GEORGE!!

I wonder what GEORGE would have done if he had been followeed by an ass in his car and then the idiot gets out in the rain and pursued him.
What would GEORGE have done??

Where’s Trent when I need someone to do some honest true blue cussing.
I’m so damn mad right now, I doubt that I can sleep.
Good night everyone and sweet dreams! : )

Loly….don’t feel alone on the “Mad Island”!! Today I noticed that Daddy ZimASS wrote a book & you can now BUY it at Amazon.com!! Yippee!! I swear the whole family is going to have to go back to Peru after what all the shit slinging they are doing & saying about America!! I guess this explains WHY they are not in court….BOOK TOUR!! Making money off of TRAYVON with their fantasy stories! Just when I think this family can’t shock me anymore….BAM!

============================================================ Marilyn, all I can say is “UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE!!” The nerve of that MoFo!! I agree..The whole FamDamily needs to go back to Peru.

Hello everybody,
Thanks Xena. Perfect tattoo for the master of deception. He’s a liar, thief and fraud. I’m totally disgusted by him.
Lolypop,
We know for a fact that ZimAss was pumped up on Adderall. It was on his medical chart the day after he killed Trayvon. Adderall is an amphetamine. I’d bet lots of dollars that GZ hasn’t been on Adderall in the last year, hence the 100lb weigh gain. He was not thinking logically. His behavior was erratic. I hope that the State has the balls to enter this information into evidence or at least gets this information to the jury. Anyone who has used Adderall for weight loss would be able to relate and agree that Adderall changes personalities and its also often abused.

I’m sorry I’ve been away for a few days but I had to step away for awhile.
Honestly, I’m not confident that an unbiased jury is possible. Am I the only one? Please give me hope. I never knew there were so many prejudice people in the world. GZ blatantly, without a doubt stalked TM and then killed him.
It’s no one’s fault GZ is stupid and didn’t think about how TM felt. If he’s that stupid then he certainly doesn’t have enough sense to carry a gun. This man is a danger to society.
I wish there were a way BDLR could get a change of venue. Maybe there really is a stealth juror in the midst that the defense knows about. I’m praying that something happens. I’d rather wait another year for this trial to start than have to worry about Seminole County jurors.
JMHO

Hi JB….I am sorry to say that I agree with you about this kind of jury that is there.My jaw dropped when the(pj) retired cops wife told Bernie he would have to do magic to convince her that ZimASS was GUILTY!! There are alot of them there! I have such a sick feeling in my stomach about this too.I think I am more in shock that there are actually people that think this way.
I would think the Adderall would come into the trial because it would be on the same report as his stupid nose isn’t it? I think it says something about the refill….or something like that…I forgot what the medical report says since I haven’t read it in so long.

JB,
I have wanted sooooooooooooooooo bad for there not to be (prejudice) to be gone in our country.
You can’t call it free, when a few want it for themselves, NOT ALL
AND Zimmerman can kiss my ass. They move to a free country and think they can get by with murder?
Oh, Hell no, it doesn’t work that way.

You do the crime and you do the time. PERIOD!!!!
IF we don’t face ugly prejudicism face on and try to change it, how will it ever change.

HELL no, it wasn’t because a few with voices had to be called in, IF they had arrested GEORGE
that night none of this would have happened.

GEORGE must kept saying he looks suspicious. He couldn’t say why.
There’s nothing wrong with walking home IN THE RAIN, with a hoodie. He never could say
WHY he looked suspicious.

HELL, we aren’t dumbasses here.

The asshole should be in jail waiing his trial. Oh, he had the money for bail from someone SO why doesn’t that SOMEONE that bailed him also pay his lawyer and living expenses IF NOT,
he can’t afford to be out. NO more than anyone else.

JB, HOPE???
I’ve lived long enough to know that at an era things were so embarrassing just to read about.

My Granddaughter gets it. It was an ugly time in History and we still have ome ignorant fools
that just want to be that way.
She says Gramma just because of their color?

Idiots that don’t believe it go back just a few years and read the books, see the pictures.

I’d like to tell those that believe this way and are Christian, DON’t fall off of their chairs, BUT God made EVERYONE!

No, this trial should not be held in Seminole County Florida.
They wanted this murder to go away quietly and WHY do we think this?

I’m sorry, but I was raised we’re all the same and HOW can anyone think otherwise?

BTW, if GEORGE’s Daddy
is going to going around promoting his book,
does he think he’s going to be any safer than GEORGE???
Dumb shit, they can go anywhere and no body gives a damn.

AND GEORGE didn’t gain his wait because he was under stress. Not in my opinion.
Why was he taking Adderall? If he needs more, get it for him.
They shouldn’t just go around saying he gained all of that weight because he’s been under stress.
That’s toal bullshit.
He’s eating well with the donations.
I’m sick of these people.

I’m really mad as hell. What’s his daddy trying to do be his judge.
They have gotten by with so much, like the Marilyn said when you think this family can’t shock you anymore, then BAM. That fits it!

I know that we hate to go there about race, I’m serious. I didn’t want to but we can’t get past it.
I hear it, I know and STOP it when I do.
The newer generation, most of them don’t understand it at all. THANK God!!!!

I’m so hoping that the grown ups will GROW UP some day.

Whoever you are, whatever you are, you NEVER believe it’s right to follow someone because you think they look suspicious. IF they look all that suspicious, MAYBE, it’s best some like GEORGE are not “Watchmen” and damn sure shouldn’t carry a gun.

Like JB said he is a threat to society.

Think of what he could have done, gone on to Target, not followed Trayvon, not gotten out of his schruck, IF HE LOOKED SUSPICIOUS!!!

Did the dispatcher ever ask GEORGE, HOW does he look suspicious.

GEORGE, “well he’s walking from the store in the rain.”

I can’t even imagine.
We used to do it many times a day!
What a damn shame!!

“JB….OMG I just read some of the comments of the DONORS!! I keep wondering what kind of people were doing all of this donating & WHY.My opinion still tells me it is RACE,which is so sad to me in the year of 2013.”

ONE of those donors was just vd’d for a possible juror.
HE believes he can be impartial!!!
Give me a fucking break!!

Because of ALL the DAMN DONORS!!!! LIKE TODAY….Hello!! We got one today trying to SQUEEZZZZE IN!! Dumb shit! Hi Loly((( waving))) Yep my blood pressure is about boiling after this shit! Someone said he was a white male with long hair & beard like on Duck Dynasty.Get it?

Today was a VERY long court day with a continuation of the Frye hearing. I really tried keeping up, and did hear the PJ who donated money to Zimmermeth. Just like the wife of a retired cop, they “preach” what they believe to be fact, and when questioned by the defense, back peddle and say they can decide on evidence presented at trial. Uhh — no they can’t.

If I were interviewed and asked if the media played a role in making an impression on me regarding the case, I could honestly say “no.” I base what I believe on admissible, released discovery material.

Good stuff Xena!! You put this together perfectly. I had to LOL when RZ said he and family knew it was George that was screaming. LOL It’s his son..what else would he say?? Duh.
JB~

Thank You Xena….I couldn’t have said it better myself!! Great Video as always! Ya know there are very few people in this world that just make my skin crawl & what I have seen & heard from this family…..they honestly do! GEEEEEZZZZ was it ever LOONNNGG today! Holy crap! Lights goin off,air conditioner off at 5:00….but Ole West thought he was a shining star! Dear Lord….I wish this thing would move along. Can’t wait to see what IDIOT tries to get on the jury next.I swear,I had no idea there were this many crazy people in this world.Is it just me or am I just this STUPID??!! Ok Guys heres your chance to really let me have it!

Hi Marilyn ((((((waving back ))))))
HaHaaaaaaaaa
Marilyn, NO you’re not one of the stupid ones.
I honestly think that 75% are.

Disheartening to think there are, but it’s the truth.
Like you said earlier about asking any pj’s IF they had donated.

This one just conveniently left that he donated to Zimmerman on the form, thinking
he could get on the jury. He should be fined.
Out of 500 that filled out the form to be on the jury, I wonder how many have donated
and thought they would sneek their way in. I think that GEORGE laughed. What an ass.

Great video Xena.
WHAT DAMN LIARS!!! That family should have their own reality show called

“Don’t You Idiots Believe US?” Oh, yeah some do.
Everyone that thinks that is GEORGE crying and in pain has problems we can’t solve.

So good you’re back. It is so frustrating when you can’t get on the internet OR
you forget your password, or user name. I get so mixed up .
Now, I’m on and can post, but my name has green under it.
I don’t care, just so I can get on here. : )

I can’t believe this family. They are far beyond egomaniacs that have gotten by with everything
and believe they will get by with this. Amazing the ones that think everything he say’s is true.
Like I said they have a BIG problem and belong in tht category that
Marilyn was talking about.

Thank you all for assuring me that I’m not alone in my feelings about this jury selection.

Like Marilyn, this shit makes my blood boil. It seems every time O’Mara or West questions a GZ supporting PJ, they get to spew the same old scenario when we all know that GZ’s little story just doesn’t fly.
I wish BDLR would make points like ask a PJ, “Would you still believe that TM attacked GZ knowing that not one iota of GZ’s DNA is under his fingernails?”
That type of question might make the defense stop handing out speculation and address the real facts in the case.
lol..I know it shouldn’t upset me but it does.
Xena, I don’t feel like I was lead by the media either. I questioned the media from the start. It aggravates me that the Sanford PD is the reason the media went wild.
If SPD would have arrested GZ like they should have, this case would have been over with by now.
IMO, it was protesting that annoyed Seminole County residents and caused them to support GZ but the truth is the truth. If they were TM’s parents they would have gotten a lawyer too and if people wanted to protest?? Oh well. We all had reason to protest.

It’s just a damn shame that it took all of that to “attempt” to get justice for one young black kid who was killed on public street at 7PM while visiting his dad.
How can people be so blind?

Hi JB…..Like you….especially listening to this jury selection have HAD IT with the PICTURE CRAP!! I agree…do they want the one of him laying in the morgue? You know if it wasn’t for my 20 month old grandchild…I probly wouldn’t have such recent pic of my 42 yr old Son!! My Daughter always runs from my camera! I agree the pics that kids post of themselves on FACEBOOK are not always what I would show to one of my friends…I do have a 24 yr old Granddaughter & cringe sometimes,so I am doing my best to understand all the hoopla about this damn picture! But I do have to say if one of my Kids were MURDERED…I am not so sure WHAT picture I would give to the press!! Dear God…the media had OTHER pics of him on horseback,family gatherings,etc.Why are they blaming the parents for the pics that were released?

Today I am hearing 20 yr old PJs talk…..HOLY SHIT!! this big case decided by a 20 yr old?? Like I said my Granddaughter is 24 & doesn’t even have a TV !! She is so busy,she has no opinion,except during the rally in NY,she was trying to get to a rehearsal & couldn’t get there! This is too much for someone this YOUNG! I feel so disturbed since the jury selection started on so many levels & I guess I am not alone! Looks like its time to start listening again!

I missed the boat yesterday at 4pm Frye continuance. Briefly, what happened? Wasn’t the judge to make a decision, etc. Sorry, no coffee this morn. lol
Yep, There sure are some things going on that stirs my anxiety too! This guy is going to walk?
Anyone else feel it?

Kathy…yesterday there was no decision….the state gets to put on a rebuttal.Today has just about done me in…I just listened to one of ZimASS fans get on this jury!! Her # is I-24….My God what is wrong with these people? She said there was a rush to JUDGEMENT,everything out of her mouth was nothing but quotes from Sean Hannity….damn near word for word!! This makes me SICK!

The Picture??? That always chaps me, BUT they really can’t possibly be right in thinking GEORGE
was wrong so anything hateful that they can say about the family makes them feel better.

Look at GEORGE’S mugshot. Does it look like he does now?
BUT, they will use the one they have and it doesn’t look a damn thing like him.
It didn’t then.

The Martin’s used that picture of Trayvon on his grave. If they had wanted to they could have used
his baby picture. The can decide that.
Trayvon has several family pictures, where is GEORGE’S???

Also, remember some ?????? were saying where was his Dad, when did he see him last.
He saw him last in th casket, before that in the morgue.
No sympathy there for his Mom and Dad.
They didn’t do anything.
Yet, the haters hate Trayvon, his family and anyone that believes this shouldn’t have happened to their son.They HATE them. What in the world did they do to deserve their son being murdered?

They aren’t going to find an impartial jury in Seminole County.The reason that I say is simply because they didn’t arrest GEORGE that night. They actually believed he was defending himself??
Even so that was for a jury to decide, not the officers

Hi Loly…I have wondered WHY O’ smeara did NOT try to get this trial OUT of Seminole County,but I am beginning to see the BIG picture now.WHY would he ? In my opinion TRAYVON is not going to get a fair trial! Obviously this town had major problems BEFORE poor Trayvon & his Family came along with this tragedy,especially with the POLICE DEPT.! You are not going to convince me that they did not think that ZimASS was not one of them when this happened.Serino & Singleton didn’t have a snowballs chance in hell convincing anybody!

Marilyn,
It was like 2 weeks after it happened that I even heard about it.
They didn’t like it when it got attention and it would have never gotten that if Trayvon’s parents
hadn’t to fight for justice for their son.
I know that they wee critizied for it, but what parent wouldn’t do the same?

I think they would have gotten by with murder and they did too, but it took a lot more people to get involved for ANY justice whatsoever.
I gues the prosecuter can’t ask to move the trilal, but where?
You’re absolutley right about Seminole County though.
I’m sure O’Mare is thrilled to have it in that county.
The ones they questioned?
I think they have 32.
Get 8 impartial jurors? Fat chance!

Hello Ladies! Well, now Judge Nelson, the prosecution and defense get to interview 40 of the potential jurors and then select 6 and 4 alternatives. Although I hear those who are not trustful of some of the 40 moving on, that does not mean they be selected. Keep the faith. Keep sending out that positive energy and good thoughts.

Looks like Junior hasn’t been in court since June 10th. Other than ShelLIE, none of GZ’s family has been there to support him. His security guard was banned from the courtroom because his cell phone went off. That’s a no-no in the courtroom. It’s also symbolic; i.e., Zimmermeth’s security is out the courtroom door.

It must gravely hurt him to know that not everyone thinks he is innocent and supports him. But then, he should have known that by the lack of financial donations to his defense fund.

WELL,WELL,WELL……the UGLY has reared their heads!! Today we have ZimASS’s VILE,MEAN LOOKING Parents in court,a Sister who looks just like the Mother.Hey Guys…Im only being honest & speaking my mind.I can NOT imagine them having the balls to even show up! Lets see how long it takes them to get kicked out.GOD BLESS YOU TRAYVONS PARENT for even having to be in the same room with these VILE IDIOTS.

Loly, “Money” is usually what a book is about. Has anyone noticed that GZ has been well groomed and suit-tied up. I think he has more suits than most anyone in the courtroom. Is this coming from donation monies??? I would bet a the book coming from GZ’s wife somewhere down the channels. But I have to say I am not a good guesser.

Loly….You are right…we have to have FAITH!! We also know that Bernie is on FIRE & seems to me trying to PUSH things along FAST! This makes me think that he KNOWS the next step IS the EVIDENCE which we have not seen!

So…JB….WE ALL will think POSITIVE send good vibes to Bernie & Team.
Tonight & tomorrow night Tracy Martin will be on HLN for an hour,it is an interview that was taped & now RZ sr seems to think that Mr Martin had them run this at THIS TIME to TAINT the jury pool!! Are you kidding me right now Mr BOOK RELEASE?!!
If someone doesn’t get HLN…..Trent has been putting all of their things on his website.
JB…we are all going to try to get thru this ROLLER COASTER & help each other out!

I’m sure you’re right Kathy!
Even the mother will have her book called “Knockin On All Your Doors” : )
Just thought of somthing, she’s not in the courtroom??

Marilyn, HA!
RZ worried about tainting the jury pool? Oh, That’s a good one.
They’ve been all over the place with their bullshit AND definetly tainting the jury pool.
GEORGE’S nose did NOT look like that on the night of Feb. 26.

What kind of magic did he do to put his nose back in shape before getting to the police station.
Same with the back of his head. He said he fell, that’s more like it. He sure didn’t get it bashed
it would have looked worse than that and bruised . The first picture that they took doesn’t even look like blood the second looks like if any thing he fell.

I know one thing, Trayvon DIDN’T run after GEORGE as GEORGE says.
GEORGE can’t have it both ways.

Think of this, the asshole followed Trayvon, stalked him.
What are we supposed to think?
He jumped out of his car followed Trayvon, says that after the 911 dispatcher told him we don’t need you to do this, THAT HE TURNS AROUND, goes back to his truck and Trayvon jumped him.
After he tells the dispatcher shit he’s running????? The other way????
He is crazy!

BTW, the CS would have never gotten out of his truck/car if he didn’t have his gun.

Oh,
And at what point did Trayvon say do you have a problem?
Perfectly lohical since GEORGE was following him and GEORGE says NO he doesn’t have
a problem??
That is a crock of shit.
If he didn’t have a problem why did he follow Trayvon ?
Trayvon knew he was following him but didn’t know what he was up to.

Hello Everybody,
Great comments!
Xena, thanks for the update and sending me some much-needed encouragement. 🙂
Yep, I’m keeping the faith!! And I have FAITH in GOD that the right thing will happen.
I’m certain Judge Nelson and Bernie De la Rionda have the insight to choose an honest, unbiased jury. 6 out of 40 sounds good. 😀

Marilyn, did the parents really look that bad? LOL… I know ugly sometimes runs all the way through. But honestly, no matter how they look, I know one thing, they did a terrible job of raising their sons, both are cowards, IMO.

Lolypop, I really do feel better today. BDLR sure looked confident. 😀

Yeah right..What is George going to say, TM followed him and attacked him??
If that happened, George would have gotten his ass kicked in the street by his shruck, not in the middle of the complex. lol

I think Kathy’s right. The book is all about $$$. What bothers me…The fact that RZ Sr. has a book published already tells me he greedy. He had to start writing it the day GZ was arrested.
Geesh.. I bet RZ Jr. is writing a book too. LOL And of course Gladys. She needs $$ too.
These people are making out like fat rats.

Kathy, I noticed GZ’s suits too and they don’t look cheap. I’m sure the money is coming out the fund. It seems to me that the only money O’Mara has spent on a defense is for the jury consultant and GZ’s suits. Almost forgot…And the 40K he spent on renovating his office. 🙂

O’Mara really pushed protecting yourself if you think your life is in danger. Not once did he mention Zimmerman’s stalking Trayvon and putting himself above the law. Trayvon was the one who felt in danger from minute one, if he threw a punch at all, it was to defend himself against a hunter with a gun! GZ, put himself in that place, and he knew he had a gun he would use. I’m sure the state will zero in on this.

Hi Everybody….Boy this afternoon it is going FAST.They are down to picking the 6 & 4 jurors!! I thought for some reason they could use their 10 strikes WITHOUT all of these arguments! But the judge has FINAL say! I guess I forgot that little detail.So…to make this short,without me moaning & groaning….we will have a JURY in a short time! They say opening statements should be on MONDAY! This is all of a sudden moving right along.I have done reading on BOTH side of this & it seems like BOTH side are feeling uneasy & nervous.

Marilyn, I agree both sides are “feeling uneasy and nervous. Both sides have a certain public watching, not necessarily race but that which LOOKS like racial. I think it almost impossible that the state can prove what GZ was thinking racial at the time of his acts, particularly and unortunately when he continued to follow after “We don’t need you to do that” even though his utterances of “these……… they always get away” or that he answered the dispatcher’s question, “what color”! Everything GZ did imo was wrong from the get go, that is for sure.

Good Morning!!
JB, Marilyn, Xena and Kathy
JB you KEEP on feeling better. phycially and also about this trial.

I have 3 comments or questions.
Hope that I can remember them all. : )

Remember the video that Trent has of the schruck/car whatever GEORGE was in. One minute he talks about his car and another his Schruck. Which one was it. It makes a difference because GEORGE said Trayvon was circling his car. Trent has a video where the schruck/car is coming up to the club. GEORGE says he was parked there. In Trents video did it ever show Trayvon or anyone circling his car. I know that is NOT when Trayvon asked him do you have a problem .

GEORGE is in his wheels inside his car and tells the dispatcher that Trayvon is LOOKING at him, Yeah something is really wrong with someone looking at the follower. GEORGE could have sit his fat ass there and said yes have the police COME TO THE CLUB. That’s easy, OH but hell no,
he says Trayvon is running and by that time GEORGE was moving fast because you can tell he’s out of breath. He know Trayvon is close by because he doesn’t wnt to ive the dispacther his address or phone number NOT because he doesn’t want Trayvon to know it ( hell Trayvon was probably afraid this idiot that was following him would follow him home ) GEORGE didn’t want him to know he was out of hiis truck and getting close to Trayvon, so he WHISPERS! Sneaky devil.

George reachs out because they are loser to the house grabs Trayvon in a police lock, That is Trayvon CRYING IN PAIN. then GEORGE dhoots him right in the heart.

GEORGE would have never gotten out IF he didn’t have his gun with him, STUPID ASS,
says he was afraid Trayvon was reaching for his gun so he shot him. Bullshit.
If he hadn’t had the gun he wouldn’t have mudered Trayvon, because he wouldn’t have gotten out of the car.

He tells the story THST HE WAS AFRAID TRAYVON WAS GOING TO GET HIS GUN!!

Now he says he’s on his way back to his Scruck and Trayvon jumped him from behind and started banfing his head. BULLSHIT again. IF Trayvon had jumped him from behind AS HE NOW SAYS,
we’re sure he had his gun out already and if Trayvon was beating him MMA style at that time was was the gun?

Anyway Trayvon is just wanting to get home, he sure doesn’t pick the fight and didn’t and would have been home and enjoying his family that day.

If Trayvon did ask him If he had a problem (which IMO I Doubt ) and GEORGE said NO, he was lying again.

As he said he looks suspicious yeah there’s something wrong with him AND if so the dispatcher was taking care of it.
JB, there will be justice for Trayvon and his family.

If anyone had the right to stand their ground, self defend, try and keep his home save it was Trayvon, NOT GEORGE!

I’ve been up one hour. lol
One cup of coffee and thing I need another one,
If I forgot anything, it will come to me then. : )

I am so heart broken over 2 of these women’s comments who ARE on this jury.YES I am also surprised with an all women jury.One of the women made a comment about Trayvon being out so late at night going to the store & the other one said if he wasn’t EXPELLED from school & being in Sanford,this wouldn’t have happened…..how damn COLD can you get? She must have ice water running thru her veins! probly BOTH of them! Bernie TRIED his best to get them kicked off….but failed.

I am shocked about the one re: EXPELLED and OUT AT NIGHT, wasn’t it only about 7pm.
The FACT is, it would not have happened if this “BIG BOY” had not been out there stalking and drawing his conclusion that it is alright for Trayvon to have died. GODS PLAN!??????

Oh, so he shouldn’t have been out in Sanford Night at night time?
In Feb. it gets dark at 5:30 or 6:00.
Trayvon had just as much right being out as GEORGE did.

7:00 is way early. I would let my kids out after dark. You can’t think just because it’s dark
he shouldn’t be able to go out.
He wasn’t expelled, he was suspended. I have said I was SUSPENDED!
That sure isn’t no where as bad as killing someone.
Yeah, Marilyn that woman MUST be the perfect parent. ugh!

Big Boy shouldn’t have been out stalking someone to kill. That’s what it was. Suspicious, up to no good, he says about Trayvon.
GEORGE was the ONLY one up to no good.
God’s Plan, really Kathy. on both of the big tials recently, they showed the tapes of any interviews.
They better show that interview.
God’s Plan, I was absulutley blown away when he said that.
That wasn’t his gun it was God’s. They should check the finger prints on that gun.
I’m sure God’s wouldn’t be.

Thanks Loly for posting this….very interesting!
I sure wouldn’t want this certain woman judging ME! I remember when I was 17,my Dad had just had my seats redone in my car & it started raining while I was in school,of course I had left my car windows down.I told the teacher I needed to leave class for a minute to roll my windows up & he said” no problem go ahead”.The Girls Dean caught me at the door & said if you go out that door,you will be suspended for 3 days….all I thought about was my NEW SEATS! Even though I was a straight A student…I said I guess I’ll see you in 3 days & kept walking! Now…in my 60+ years,I have not been involved in a VIOLENT act! Kids do get suspended for all kinds of reasons.If you have lived through most life experience…..you KNOW this!

I think you keeping your seats dry was responsible. 3 days out of school
was a dream for me. : )

I wasn’t bad then and am no danger now.
You love to see your kids grow at every age. I loved them all.
So VERY TRAGIC for the Martins.

When his Dad said at night it’s the hardest, that’s true!
Because you don’t want to think, you want to go right to sleep.
But, morning you wake up and realize it wasn’t a dream OR it’s still the same.
Just a roller coaster.

I can’t EVEN imagine having to go through a trial because my son or daughter were
murdered by a JOY Gunman.

Hi Everybody……What the hell is going on with Judge Nelson??? First she allows those 2 DINGBATS on the jury who made those horrible comments about Trayvon…..now she rules AGAINST letting the state experts testify about the screams??? Is she only thinking about making this a SHORT trial? WTH???

Hi Mariyn,
I don’t know!
Out of 500 pj’s this was the best they could do?
What did they expect In Seminole County?

Maybe the judge is just going to allow the tape, not experts, It speaks for itself.
Do you think?
However, I believe she should let all of GEORGE’S 911 calls in and his interviews.
They have at the other trials.
The Hannity interview, where he says ( you know he wanted to tell everyone) that
the gun was not his.
It was Gods, yet he says HE shot him and was defending hmself.

Ones that are a menace to society don’t deserve to be free and HE is
one of them.

Hi Loly….I have been so disgusted,that I have been going back to square one.I figured maybe there are some things that I might have missed,like I just completed the 1st Bond Hearing.Before that I was going over the witness statements.I’m not sure WHERE to go next to prepare myself for tomorrow!!
Where are you JB….are you OK?

Hi Girls.
Worried about JB here too.
Take care of yourself. Everything is going to be alright.
We love you.
JB, Kathy, Marilyn and Xena
Have a good day, I like Hoodies Up. : )
Prayers for the Mrtin famiy and JB.
I KNOW you are going to be alright!
Loly

Good Morning, Good Morning all!!
I’m sorry to make yall worry. 🙂 I had a house full of people here over the weekend and I was playing tourist guide as usual. Dang NOLA is hot in the summer. Oh well…
But I’m here now for the Opening Statement. I can hardly wait to hear Bernie lay out the State’s case. It oughta be good.

Hi Marilyn!
So good to see you too! I think Guy did a great job.
I know! Can you believe that crap??!! MOM should be ashamed of himself for asking the parents to leave the courtroom.

I loved his analogy, “Two worlds collided”.
I was also shocked to learn that TM’s wound was a contact shot, burn marks on his clothes and skin.
Guy said there was a long verbal exchange between GZ and TM and a witness saw them in some kind of altercation while they were upright, standing up.
I’m really happy to know that all of GZ’s past — calling the cops numerous times, being a wanna-be-cop and failing the exam will be entered.
But the most damning evidence will be GZ attending 1 1/2 years of MMA, Kick-fighting, self-defense classes. GZ is such a loser, he didn’t throw a punch.

I was blown away that Guy already put in the GYM/FIGHTING place!! I guess they aren’t gonna be playing around! Unlike West who is going around in circles & putting everybody to sleep.Can the judge not see that ZimASS is sleeping thru this whole thing?

OMG!!! Mini FIREWORKS with OSmeara trying to get the Zim family back in & TRACY kicked out!! I DO hope everybody is getting to watch this!! This is good!! Its like the DUHFENCE is trying everything they can for this to go forward!

JB, Happy to see you. : ) : ) : )
Hope they enjoyed the tour. They had the best guide, right?
Don’t worry us like that. LOL
You didn’t lnow you had so many worriers out here, did you. : )

I’ve missed the first part, but have it taped and also heard west started out with
a knock knock joke. DAMN HIM!!!!!
He is saying the damnest things like AND SUCH!!.
CRAZY, says Trayvon jacket was un zipped up, but says he had his tea in
that pocket> HUH?

Hi Lolypop and Marilyn,
Thanks for looking out for me. 😀 I’m still here. I was a little worried though when the Moon moved in on me… LOL
Still watching the trial..Tick Tock. Justice is coming.
I’m amazed how quickly this trial is going forward. There’s been a lot of testimony heard in a short period of time. I think this trial will be over in a couple of weeks.
What do yall think?

I just got up, again. : )
So, I’m at the part where the defense wants to keep the other “susupicious “guys in.
He says the 911 caller proved that GEORGE wasn’t angry the 26th. ( I disagree )
Some people can fool you some of the time………………………………………….
How does that go??? lol

Just because people don’t yell and scream, like I do doesn’t mean they aren’t angry.
Ask my husband.
Anyway all of the 911 calls were about the same, ones recently as 2 months prior
and shows he was being good then, just like he was on the 911 tape.
People aren’t stupid. : )

I’m going back to watch!

I think it’s moving pretty good and would like for it to be over in 2 weeks,
especially for the Martins.

Loly,
I was thinking the same thing. This trial is moving very quickly…of course we haven’t heard from the defense yet. LOL I really don’t think ZimAss has a defense. He’s screwed.

Did you see Witness 8 today? Her real name is Rachel Jeantel. I love her. I think she’s as real as they get. She believable no matter how she speaks, she’s real and as far as that little fib she told about being in the hospital so she wouldn’t have to go to Trayvon’s memorial service was totally understandable. Sure she may have lied in her interview with Crump but I think she didn’t want to hurt Sybrina’s feelings. There are people who can’t handle that stuff. I think she’s a very kind hearted person but I see some toughness in her too. 🙂 lol.. She called West, “Mr. Don”. hahaha

HI JB,
So far everyone has been very believable.
I cannot imagine the things that I remembered right after seeing someone shot
getting shot. That first witness was so shaken, I remember her 911 call and she
wished that she could have helped Trayvon.

DeeDee
Was believable. you can tell she doesn’t want to see someone cry, especially Trayvon’s
Parents.
I imagine she thought the person had been arrested too. I didn’t even know it happened until March 13th and couldn’t figure out why it hadn’t been reported, then to find out
it was because the man that killed him was using his stand your ground and that’s why he wasn’t arrested.
Too bad she doesn’t have her Mom here. That has to be hard. IF I were in her shoes it would havr been very hard to go to her friend’s Memorial.

GEORGE even said he was surprised, so he was going to use stand your ground, then decided
self defense and just thought everything was peachy until he was arrested.
Trayvon’s parents have fought ever since to get justice.

I know it’s very hard for them and pray everyday for them to get through this ordeal
that they were put in and for their lives after.

It has got to be sooooo hard and MISTER O’MARA is worried about the jury’s feeling sorry for them. What an asshole.

That was cute MR. Don.HaHaa
I’m sure she tired of their crap.

BTW, Mr. Don when someone is testifying he tries to act so puzzled, even though he’s talked with everyone of them, sits there with Like we don’t know what you’re talking about. Pulling that crap again.

Hi Lolypop,
I hadn’t thought of that, where is Rachel’s mother or family? Hmmm…good question.
W8 is in a horrible position, especially for a 19 yo girl. She’s probably spent all of her life trying to go under the radar of police drama and here she is..right smack in the middle.
God bless her.
I heard that GZ will take the stand. If we thought West was tough on W8, wait till BDLR gets his hooks into George. That’s going to make W8’s testimony look lame. West is mincing up W8’s words.
The State will compare all 4 of George’s statements and his reenactment.
😀 Can’t wait.

JB,
Really, he did mince her words, tried to confuse her and she was trying to do her best under these
tragic conditions for her. She was lied to aboit the fact that they had already arrested Trayvon’s killer.

Her Mother lives in “Haetti”, that’s what I get so she had no adult to help her except Trayvon’s Mother . I remember her Mother wanted her not to get involved.

The fact is Trayvon asked him WHY HE WAS FOLLOWING him GEORGE says Trayvon asked him if he had a problem.
Theres a difference, don’t you think? So West is just staying on on thing.
I don’t blame her Mother for telling her not to get involved. NOW WHAT?

It wasn’t Trayyvon’s fault OR her fault that they were put in this position.
Plain and simple it was GEORGE following him.
Trayvon thought at first that the had gotten away from GEORGE.
GEORGE wasn’t going to let that happen..
Look how many stories he’s told “He was following him”, then the next he said he was going in the same direction. BS!

I’m so sure that Trayvon would chase someone that had been following him
and Trayvon was afraid of him. More BS!

So they can dance around for days and that’s the reason they are doing it to her.
Buying time!

Hi Guys…..Dear Lord I am glad they are done with witness #8 Rachel for now!! My heart went out to her.I read somewhere that she is from Haiti.But I don’t really know what all to believe.All I know is I feel so sorry for her.I so understand her problem about funerals.Yall have heard me speak of my 46 yr old Wonderful Daughter….BUT….I doubt she will be at my own funeral! She has always had a horror of dead people & can not go to funerals.She went to My Dads & sat in the very back so she couldn’t see anything.So many people don’t understand these things….but they are REAL.

I haven’t felt very good in the past few days & I can’t decide how I really think how the trial is going.I guess I wanted to see SO MUCH that we ALREADY did NOT already KNOW & am feeling a little disappointed.Today when they started talking about phone records,I had been dozing off & I got excited thinking it would ZimASS’s records that I have been waiting on!! I got pissed at the neighbor who was on the HOA board & tried to hide that she followed RZjr on twitter,their friends with Taffee on facebook,etc.But all anyone on TV wants to do is pick on poor Rachel….who I think is AMAZINGLY HONEST! I am sitting here right now listening to people saying all of the lies she said.You know what….all that matters is HER PHONE RECORDS!!! With her phone records,there is not enough time for all that BULLSHIT ZimASS says happened PERIOD!!

Hi Marilyn,
You are a good Mom. Your wonderful daughter is like a lot of other people. Honestly, if I thought it would disturb my daughter terribly to see me in a coffin, I would forgive her because she is so good to me in life and isn’t that the most important thing? Be good to me in life. You don’t have to put flowers on my grave either unless it makes you feel good. That’s the way I am.

I had to run out on errands and didn’t see the next witness you’re talking about. Hmmm…so she’s buddy-buddy with Frank Taafe huh and follows RZ’s twitter. Well, that says alot about her.
I hate the way the media is bashing Rachel Jeantel. She’s probably the most honest witness in this entire case. So what if her wording changes, the story doesn’t change.
Exactly, the phone records show she was talking to Trayvon right before he was killed!
I really hope ZimAss has the balls to get on the stand. BDLR will tear him apart.
And thanks for reminding me about GZ’s phone record. I hope they come up in evidence.
Well, I off to have play pool with some friends.
Marilyn, I hope you get to feeling better. Take care of yourself Kiddo and get some rest.
BTW, where’s Xena??

Hi Y’all, : )
Right, where is Xena and Kathy?
We’re always having to worry about someone, right? : )
Marilyn I hope yoi get to feeling better REAL soon.

I’m so glad that I can tape it. Right now I’m on the T.Mobile man.
Got a lot of catching up to do.
BTW, are they having court tomorrow?

With all of the testimony with Ratchel, parcing every word, I KNOW it was difficult for her.
She was so thankful she can go home for awhile.

The main thing that she got through to West is that YES, GEORGE was following Trayvon.
He DID pursue Trayvon.
He actually just flat hunted him down and killed him. That’s exactly why GEORGE got out of the car WITH his gun.

I read something the other day, made so much sense. Have you ever heard of a man with a gun yelling for help?

Geez. I was typing a comment, hit the wrong key to get the URL to an article, and lost my comment. LOL!!

Hello ladies and bless your hearts for asking about me. I’ve checked in lurking mode, and there are so many messages lately that I’ve been concerned if I respond to just one thing, that it will appear that I’ve not paid attention to all comments or am not concerned with what is happening in your personal lives. So, please forgive me.

Watching the trial is a full-time job. I’ve posted the videos on blackbutterfly7 and also a page dedicated to Rachel Jeantel.

But the following is THE BOMB! I emailed them asking if I could reblog the full article, and they replied saying “not yet.” So, I’m passing the URL around.

There you are Xena!
Ok, I made the rounds didn’t see you at Leatherman’s but I forgot about your site.
I’ll have to check it out.
I love the letter and video. I’m so happy people are reaching out to her. I haven’t dared hit the “other” blogs to see what they are saying about Witness 8 but I can imagine.
Funny thing, I was just logging in to post an article having to do with Rachel so I’ll save my comment.
Thanks for sharing.
Lolypop,
As far as I know the trial will continue tomorrow??
